Marvel's Spider-Man: Web of Fate

Ned counted on his fingers and gave an example: "Like Batman's butler Alfred. Whenever a crisis occurs, Batman is responsible for going out to resolve the crisis, while Alfred helps to stay behind and uses some reconnaissance or information gathering methods to help Batman with logistical work."

“But you still have to go to school,” Peter said, somewhat tempted. He knew Ned’s abilities in the field of computers. When playing some single-player games, he could quickly hack into the source code of the games and modify them to make them more interesting.

Ned was probably the youngest and most talented IT expert he had ever met.

It seems like it's actually possible to be the "man behind him"?

Should he take this opportunity to form his own small team?

Chapter 107 What's wrong with kissing?

"Don't you have to go to school too? And you have the Stark Internship Program. How did you manage to go to school, participate in the Stark Internship Program, and be Spider-Man all at the same time?" Ned was astonished.

“Being Spider-Man was part of Stark’s internship program,” Peter replied.

"Oh," Ned suddenly realized.

“Listen, Ned, being a superhero isn’t just about glamour. There are a lot of responsibilities and obligations involved. Those have been with me since I put on this suit and chose this path.” Peter placed his hand on Ned’s shoulder, looked him straight in the eye, and said earnestly.

"So I hope you can think about this carefully. If you really want to do these things with me, have you come up with any real ideas? Or are you just acting on a whim and thinking that being a superhero is a cool thing?"

After Peter's words, Ned also fell into deep thought.

Clearly, like Peter before him, he simply thought being a superhero was a cool thing that made them feel important.

This is also the thought of many young people.

But after experiencing different worlds, Peter has come to realize that being a superhero is not an easy thing.

Being a superhero is not an obligation exclusive to anyone, nor can it grant anyone unique power.

But when you voluntarily put on the superhero suit, a sense of responsibility will naturally come over you.

You can choose not to fulfill this responsibility and ignore it, but at that point, you no longer deserve to be called a superhero.

Not only that.

Being a superhero doesn't actually bring any benefits. It doesn't provide you with direct financial gains and may even drag you down and affect your life.

Bully Spider-Man is a prime example.

He couldn't reconcile his identities as Spider-Man and Peter Parker, to the point that his own life became a mess.

Perhaps the same applies to The Amazing Spider-Man B.

Peter knew only a limited amount about his experiences, so he refrained from making any unfounded speculations.

In comparison, he prefers the blonde Spider-Man look.

In daily life, she has her own career, a stable income, a loving partner (Mary Jane), and supportive family members (Aunt May).

In the realm of superheroes, they have not only gained widespread popularity but have also received certain official approval.

If Spider-Man's perfect score is 10, then the blonde Spider-Man would get at least a 9.5!

Ned clearly didn't feel that much, but he could sense Peter's serious attitude towards the matter from his solemn tone.

Peter took a deep breath and continued, "You can think about it. No matter what the future holds, we'll always be good friends."

"Hmm!" Ned nodded; he did need to think about it carefully.

Peter wasn't in a hurry. After giving Ned some instructions, he said goodbye to Ned and prepared to leave Midtown Tech High School.

The matter of the Imitation Master is also something he must pay attention to.

Because he wasn't sure whether Taskmaster was after him, Spider-Man, or was tricked by Flash's poster.

Although her actions seemed to suggest the final scenario, Peter dared not be completely at ease until he had clarified the situation.

But before that, he had to talk to Aunt Mei first.

-

Peter met Aunt May outside the auditorium where the performance had just taken place.

The first thing Aunt May said to him was in a teasing tone, "Where's that pretty blonde girl?"

Peter blushed slightly: "Aunt May~"

"Oh my, the little guy is blushing," Aunt Mei said, pinching his cheek.

“That was just for the performance; I didn’t know Betty before,” Peter tried to explain, shaking his head vigorously to break free from Aunt May’s clutches.

"Yes, yes, there's a kissing scene in the middle school script, and it's a kiss on the corner of the lips, you really 'don't know' him~" Aunt Mei poked his head again.

"What's wrong with kissing the corner of the mouth?" Peter subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, as if he could still feel the touch of Betty's soft lips against it.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Aunt Mei just smiled meaningfully, "Remember to invite them over for dinner next time you have the chance, but let me know in advance."

"Oh wait, Aunt May, I really don't know her well!" Peter was still wondering what was going on with kissing the corner of her mouth when he belatedly realized he had gotten himself into a mess.

"So, are you going to find Betty, whom you don't know well, or are you coming home with me?" Aunt May took Peter's hand.

“I have something to do, I need to go to Stark Labs,” Peter said somewhat embarrassedly.

Aunt Mei scrutinized him for a moment, sighed, let go of his hand, hugged his head, and kissed him on the forehead: "Go and come back soon, be careful."

“Mhm,” Peter nodded repeatedly, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

Behind them, Aunt May stared blankly at Peter's departing figure, lost in thought.

-

Peter didn't go directly to Tony Stark, after all, he was only an intern at Stark Industries, and getting too close to Tony Stark would easily make him associated with Spider-Man.

Interns are an easier case to deal with.

The news that Stark Industries' latest optical microscope glasses were developed by an intern who had recently joined the company has already spread to a small circle, thanks to Tony Stark's deliberate or unintentional leaks.

If someone were to investigate, they could trace it back to Peter.

This is actually a smokescreen, which can well explain the reasons for Stark Industries' sudden investment in Midtown Tech High School, and why Peter, a mere high school student, was able to receive investment from Stark Industries' September Fund and even enter Stark Industries.

Moreover, this thing is not valuable enough to make Peter a target for others.

At the same time, under the cover of this "researcher" identity, Peter's identity as "Spider-Man" is well hidden.

Who would have thought that Spider-Man was just a child, and a genius researcher at that? — Peter always disguises his voice when he puts on the Spider-Man suit.

Given his level of control over his body, it's entirely possible for him to modify his voice appropriately.

Ordinary people can create sound effects for singing, voice acting, etc. Don't believe me? Just look at the girl you're dating online; she might actually be a dog head.

After sending a message to Tony Stark, Peter left the school again.

After waiting for a while near the school, he saw Happy, who was furious.

"Didn't you go back? Why are you back again?" Happy harbored a deep resentment towards Peter. Tony had just told him that he and Pepper were going back on their own, so Happy had already driven away.

Halfway there, Tony suddenly messaged him to come back and pick up Peter Parker!

Do you know how congested this street is right now?!

Chapter 108 Emergency

Peter didn't know that before.

But now, Peter knows.

This is so, so, so congested!

Perhaps due to the anniversary celebration of Midtown Science and Technology High School, coupled with the popularity of Iron Man's personal attendance, several nearby streets became very congested.

They were stuck in traffic for more than half an hour, until the chickens had finished pecking at the rice, the dogs had finished licking the noodles, and the candles had burned out the copper locks, but they still couldn't squeeze out of the street.

Oh, this cryptic description was a picture posted by a Chinese friend of Peter's on Little Bluebird. He found it interesting and wrote it down.

Thirty minutes is nothing to the average person.

But for Peter, thirty minutes is enough time to do an experiment, to analyze at least one set of experimental data, to learn a fighting technique, and so on. Why waste such precious thirty minutes in this car where you can hit someone with a raised hand?

Peter regretted leaving his laptop at home.

Otherwise, he could use it to design his new battle suit, learn some knowledge, or something.

He has been trying to add more features to the nano-spider suit.

For example, he could add the artificial intelligence technology that he's been eyeing for a long time.

Even if they aren't as good as Karen, they should at least be able to provide some combat support or location tracking.

But this is a long and arduous task, and there is still much he needs to learn and improve.

So whenever he has free time, he's either studying or experimenting, and of course, he'll also go out on the street to continue being his good neighbor Spider-Man.

He will never forget that he is Spider-Man!

And his research is itself a way for him to better become Spider-Man!

After waiting a few more minutes, Peter couldn't wait any longer.

He said to Happy, "Happy, could you help me take this to the lab? I'll go first."

Happy was furious: "You come back here! If it weren't for picking you up, I would have already driven off when I had the chance. Why would I be stuck here?"
